Reopen a Closed Position
An Interfolio Faculty Search (FS) position is either ‘Open,’ meaning a position is accepting new applications, or ‘Closed,’ meaning no new applications are being accepted. Committee Managers and Administrators can close a position when applications are no longer being considered, such as after a hire is made or for other reasons. This article explains how to reopen a closed position.
